Traditionally, most people get a whole mess of 1/2" PVC pipe (from any hardware store), chop it into three-foot lengths, and slide one weapon into each tube. I say half-inch because it's what I use--with epees, if you slide the tube all the way down it'll 'grab' the very base of the blade, making it so that the tube won't come off unless you give it a little tug. Very nifty, and saves you from having to rig up anything with rubber bands or hair ties to keep the tube on, as I've seen some foilists at my club do. A second decade of excellence

Thanks, I'll give it a try. "I think this point is best point you will ever see... ahh look, I'm so good aren't I? Oh and here referee was wrong, opponent made attack first and I counterattacked but referee gave point to me, but that's life I guess. Ho ho ho..."
